Not to mention that apparently juries aren’t allowed to consider that as a reason rape victims might choose not to report.

Bless these witnesses. I went through a sexual harassment case with a prominent individual that I worked with / for, and it was hell. I can only imagine being in the spotlight on a national, rather than regional stage.

“Because her father didn’t want her to be humiliated. To feel shame, embarrassment that he had seen other women go through when they went to the police at that time,”

You can always fight a false accusation (and often win), but you can’t go back in time and not be raped. That’s the major difference as I see it. Plenty of people are accused of things they didn’t do and end up having totally okay lives. But people who have been assaulted have to live with that reality forever.

Well of course that’s worse because it destroys a man, where actual sexual assault typically destroys a woman and I think we all know whose life is more valuable here.

In my humble opinion....Alec ain’t wrong.
